Sorry to spam you with Pi again, and with the same song...



... but personally I think performances like this is the best, much better than PV which sometimes can be boring to watch. I really like the outfit he had, simply black and white. I liked the dance, nothing too complicated yet stylish, elegant (don't know the right word in English, I want to use the Swedish word "stilig"). And also, for the first time when watching JE boys' performances, I'm noticing the backdancers *lol*. They're actually great dancers too, very insync and I think the guy in glasses in the front was good. =)


They're making a Code Blue season 2! Yay!! Even though I wasn't really found of the drama (me and hospital dramas are so-so) it had both Pi and Toda Erika in it, so I have to look forward to it. Still hoping for a Pi/Toda-pairing, but I guess as long as there won't be a Pi/Gakky-pairing I will be fine.

Where is Kame's "January drama"??? I hope for a drama where he can use his real acting skills and the plot is leading you to want to continue watching, instead of lull you into sleep.... T_T

Haven't been posting much nail arts this year, I think...? All done by my little sis. Go to her blog if you're interested in nail art.



( Sigh. I can't have long nails since I'm using contacts... O.o )

Maybe it's a bit early to post this, but since I've already finished I might as well share it now. I like this year's calendar better than last year's, but I guess practise makes perfect better result. ^__________________^


Spread it out on the table so the print would dry.

Printable calendar downloads. ( MU | MF )



( More previews under the cut... )

Used Excel, Word and Photoshop. I need a programme where I can have all these functions in one, so it will look even more professional. Follows the Swedish calendar, but you can always change and remove the small pictures from the different dates. Do as you please. ^^

The title is sad and he is crying in the beginning. (Maybe I should go and find the translation of the lyrics...) o.O

I've been listening to this song for a couple of days now, and it's growing on me. But watching the PV... makes the song even more beautiful. Lots of nice scenery and lots of lots of handsome Pi shots. It's true he looks better when not smiling. ^______^



Can't wait for the full PV to come out. <3

Yeah. I don't like Halloween. I don't like that people are celebrating ghosts and monsters and devils and witches. Those are not nice at all. Too me though, Halloween is just an excuse to read ghoststories, scare the children and most of all... get to dress up. Or dress out? Whatever, you know what I mean, to get into clothes and outfits you usually don't use everyday. XD~

I don't like to be a witch. Witches are ugly and mean. I want to be something PRETTY. ^______________^





( Yay! This year, unlike last year, people could guess right away what I was... )

Yup! So we enjoyed the party, probably more than the kids. XDDDD~

I'm working with a new Kame calendar for next year, so I was trying out some photoshopping and ended up making Kame themed wallpapers. It's about time though that I start fangirling Kame again.... ^^;




( Go here for the wallpapers! )

EDIT: Please tell me if you've got problem saving the image files, if they turn out to be 'squeezed'. Seems photobucket is weird. O.o

Now and then I think it's really nice to write in Swedish (my first language) so I made a Swedish blog a while ago, but there are not many entries there. However, my skillful blog designing sister made that blog a new layout, and it's just cho kawaii!!! So I guess I'll have to stop neglecting it more.

Click and take a look! Take a look!



Kame and Kitty... they're cute together, aren't they? XD~

... well, not really. We were just chasing a mouse in our house, my dad and I.


Click on picture to enlarge.

Cute, isn't it? But mom has a phobia about mice, she can't even watch them, so that little one had to be out of the house. Tonight. It took us around one hour, but now it is in the garbage... poor thing. ^^;

This Sunday sermon really touched me and now I feel the urge to pray for my friends, f-list and people I know.

So if you have anything you want me to pray for, comment here or if you don't want other people to read about it, send it to my e-mail eriqa@hotmail.com.

Even though you're not a believer, it won't hurt to try to leave it in His hands. Anything is ok, I believe nothing is too small or too big for God. ^^

Let's pray a lot!  \O/

I've started to do exercises more regularly recently, even made an exercise blog with my sisters where we're competing comparing each others' exercising of the week, since we're planning a trip to Japan next year and want to be able to buy clothes in Asian size (not that I think we will be able to anyway, but it's a good goal as any).

Anyway, this morning I went swimming. Afterwards when I was putting on my clothes after the shower in the dressing room, suddenly I heard someone called a boy's name. "I might know that boy", was my first thought, but then I shrugged it off; it's a common name after all. But guess what, in the next moment, they showed up; the boy and his mom. And the boy WAS on of the kids from my school, not in my class but still in my care.

It was a shock, because if they had showed up just a moment earlier, I would still have been naked. I know I might be silly, after all he is only a little boy. But still, he is 7 or 8 years AND he is kind of my student. I don't really feel comfortable being in the same room with my kids without clothes. I just realize that I need to be careful in public places, since chances are kids from school will pop up when I least expect it. T_T

( The end of episode 7 of Buzzer Beat gave me a shock too.... but a pleasant one. ^____________^ )


You guys really should watch Buzzer Beat, if you haven't already started!! ^^

Sizzla lived in our house this summer. Or, outside our house, in the terrace/ground balcony with shuttable windows, so she kind of had her own cage of glass. She wasn't allowed into the house, because we're allergic and because my parents don't like cat hairs. Sizzla is Marcus' cat (sis' boyfriend) and she is a really scaredy-cat, has lived her whole life in apartments, never been outside by her own, so we were afraid that she would escape. Would she be all right if she did?



I'm not sure about my fascination for her, I mean, I don't really like cats (if they're not white and named Kitty). When she looked at me, it was like she was lonely and wanted to have company, but when I went out to her, she ignored me or lost interest quite quickly. Sometimes she even seemed to be afraid or suspicious when I was about to pat her. In those times, she scared me too, since I always got the feelings she would bite me. I don't know why, I've never been afraid that cats will bite me, but she looked that way sometimes. And still... now when Sizzla has gone back home with Marcus and Jenny, I kind of miss her presence... T_T

My mom doesn't. The last day before Jenny and Marcus were going back, the cat killed a little mouse, a really tiny one, and she was so proud when mom came out, like "matte, look what I've done, I've killed my first mouse". My mother was horrified, because she hates and fears mice, dead or alive, so she was really relieved when the cat went home with Jenny. I'm not sure though if it really was Sizzla who killed the mouse, I didn't even know she was able to, since she's scared of everything (the most laughable was she was scared by the fishes in the pond), maybe the mouse came in, saw the cat, laid down and died by itself...? XD

Yeah, I kind of miss her.

I was playing (with) the piano tonight, and then ended up experimenting with my voice, so now I'm totally hoarse... ^^;

Love this worship song: Lord Take Control of My Life, I wish that I could listen to the original music, because there is a bridge I don't know (if anyone knows, please teach me!).

</div>

( Lyrics here. )

Japanese mochi, bought in Singapore though. I'm not sure why my parents bought a lot of Japanese stuff when they were actually in Singapore, but my guess is that I have my influence, so whenever they see something Japanese, they think of me.... XD

I like the pink plum, it was sweet and sour. ^_^


( Guess who dad and mom brought home from their trip...? XD )

Yes! I've found the Buzzer Beat Discussion Thread in D-Addicts. It took me some time, but hey, how would I know that its other name is Gakeppuchi no Hero? O.o



( Suki ja nai... suki ja nai...  )

I want to watch next episode. NOW. >.<

I bought a book from BetterWorldBooks...
... and my book wrote to me!! XDD

( Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! )

That's really a unique way of giving shipping confirmation. LOL.



Shadow in Hawthorn Bay. Loved this novel back then when I was young and a real book wurm. I'm indeed very happy to have found it, because it's out of print now. It doesn't matter that it's in English (I read it in Swedish back in my young days) or it's a used book... ^^

I guess this will be the drama I'll follow this season. I can't believe there's no thread for Buzzer Beat in D-Addicts, and me myself is too lazy to log in and create a thread there, hehe... ^^;


Who will fall in love first? XD

I'm starting to like Kitagawa Keiko better, or at least I like her character in the drama. Maybe I didn't dislike her that much after all. Might be that I didn't like Sailor Mars' character, thus it affected the actress who played her too, I'm biased like that. T_T;


And what's with this guy? He is sooooo annoying. >.<
(I know it's not his fault, but he's ugly in this drama...)

Seems like Naoki will find out about his girlfriend's doing in next episode. Or so I hope. O.o
Sorry, this entry is totally pointless, I just wanted to spam with some caps, hehe...

... well, maybe NOT on my journal though XD but he looks ABSOLUTELY stunning in photoshots. ♥♥♥


Is it because his face features are symmetric?

( A few more under the cut. )


Who looks the bestest? XDDD
*gets shot by fans of Koki and Ueda*

He's playing basketball... and he looks gorgeous. Me like. <3



I don't think I'm disloyal to Kame when I'm fangirling about Pi, am I? ^^;



I must say Pi's got the better dramas than Kame and has more "cool guy" characters. But Pi's characters are somehow very sympathic ones, so I can't help liking him. =)


I like his green shirt. The colour is like melon ice-cream. And it match my LJ-layout. XDD

When I first read the plot and the castlist to Buzzer Beat I was hoping Naoki (Pi) would end up with his girlfriend, because I don't like Sailor Mars. But after having watched the first episode, I think that he couldn't get rid of the girlfriend fast enough. Maybe I just have to learn liking Kitagawa Keiko.

Btw, seems like Sailor V will be in the drama as well. XD~



Pi is cooler when he doesn't smile. And as handsome as he is in dramas, I still think Kame looks better in snapshots (or any other kinds of shots), because the turtle is more photogenic than anyone. XD

Rafting



I think this was the coolest or one of the coolest parts of what we experienced on our trip; so much fun and we laughed like crazy. My body ached a lot afterwards but there was no reason to complain. ^^


Here come the vikings. Especially me and Fung. XD

We went with the Outlaws and they took the pics. Our guide's name was Dan and he did a great job.

( The rest under the cut... )



That's all for now! ^^

Silverton



They say the ride with the yellow train to Silverton will give you a really nice view on the way, but since we are stingy fellows (Swedes and Chineses) we decided to save money and took the car instead. Not environmentally friendly, but better for our purses.

Silverton is a nice little town, about one hour away from Durango. It's an old mine town and from the name I guess they were mining silver (?) in the mountains. Anyway, Silverton has a good touch of the Wild Wild West. You can read more about the town here.
